Chanel's Perfect Blazer

Iconic among its many legendary designs, Chanel's elegant yet easy-to-wear jackets are indeed items to treasure.

Reinvented every season by Karl Lagerfeld for the fashion house since 1983 - they've been short, stretched, close-fitting and loose - this autumn/winter 2008-9 is about simplicity, with much love having gone into the creation.

In classic black, we're already clearing a space for it in our wardrobes.
